New Wintergrasp straw poll

Why should she? Why does it matter what she does? Does it upset you or affect your life in some way?

because wasting energy on fruitless efforts is bad for your mental health.

the idea based on calling it a vote instead of a poll would indicate that it has impact, as if any player could just up and recall a dev decision at anytime by posting a poll.

no, it doesnā€™t upset me, but when you see someone wasting effort on something that will have no effect, you should at least tell them they are wasting their time, if they choose to pursue it further thatā€™s their decision.

Lol, thatā€™s very sweet and magnanimous and not at all judgemental.

But wevs, works for you, I guess.

Just let go xd Inemia likes to argue Always right and got to have the last word in. I just would like everyone vote one way or the other. Like I said I did not know you could put up a strawpoll.

Iā€™m thinking about putting more straw poll on different subjects later.

I just did Wintergrasp. It has been a very long time since I have been in there for a real battle. My first impression was that hardly anyone knew what to do. Seemed like the majority thought it was like most other battlegrounds where you beat each other to death and the team that kills the most wins. I could see an opposing group of about 10 that knew what they were doing, they capped workshops to keep our vehicles at a minimum, and focused down any on the roads. It use to be the BG I ran over and over, any day I logged in. While it is the same in most respects, it needs some tuning. It could be a big draw once again, it just needs some better information on how to do it for it to be a challenge once again.

Getting killed by the vehicles over and over and over again gets old to me. I said it before, 5 vehicles for each side at one time would be a Great place to start.

At the very most it can be tweaked, not removed. We need more content, not less.

Just played another WG where we were getting GY camped by 16 siege vehicles. Am I able to vote no again?

I loathe this battleground with a passion. I hate player versus vehicle to begin with, but player versus vehicles versus walls for 45 minutes is mind numbing.

AV is really fun, long and drawn out or not. IC is whatever. But WG is terrible.

I hate this when it happens in this BG.

Iā€™m right there with you my friend.

Took the words right out of my mouth hehe :sweat_smile:

I can play Southshore vs Tarren Mill for hours, but when I see Wintergrasp pop for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time I usually just afk out immediately, i rarely stick around for the full duration of a WG match

One of the great things about having multiple alts is you can simply afk out of Wintergrasp and hop on an alt to pass the time until deserter debuff expires on your main

Iā€™m too lazy on this toon to do that.

Yesterday I was in a losing Alliance AV game where we got utterly crushed - by the end of the match we only just barely burned IBT. The game went in excess of 55 minutes but I still had a good time

The final 20 minutes of the match ended up just being a giant stalemate/teamfight at Stormpike GY choke. Horde even summoned Guse the wind rider, we managed to kill it but it was intense :sweat_smile:

Horde was unable to break thru our turtle defense at Stormpike choke, we held the line. Eventually Horde gave up on pushing Stormpike choke and they fell back south to kill Balinda and summon Ice Lord. The match ended just as Ice Lord was crossing the Stormpike bridge into Dun Baldar.

You just donā€™t have those kind of moments and memorable experiences in Wintergrasp :thinking:

I will keeps this bump until next week sometime try to let everybody have a vote.

Personally I voted for replacing it, but I think it could be a decent battleground. It just needs some tweaks and changes to make it a bit more enjoyable for people that donā€™t get a vehicle. I still donā€™t understand why there is a weird ranking system in order to access the vehicles for the assaulting. Iā€™m sure there is a reason, but it just feels out of place and annoying. All in all I think it could be fine with some adjustments, but as it is right now Iā€™d rather something else.

Bump for tonight.

I would say itā€™s more fun than slamming my fingers in a car door, but only by a little bit.

and SS vs TM , that yoā€™re trying to replace it with , does ?
All I remember from it follows the same pattern :
Lag
More Lag
Intense healing/ranged DPS burst phase
melee dps idling about
ā€œdonā€™t overextend, go back to the tower!ā€

to me, itā€™s nothing more than ranged DPS gear check
